Episode 127 - Fab 15 Summer Songs

This week's episode sees Dave and me list our Fab 15 Songs of Summer! Fun, sun, sand, surfing, drinking, maybe a little reading when you need to recharge and everybody's like "come on Derek, everybody's going" but you're still like, "nah." Y'know. Summer! It's a fun episode and I think you'll dig it!
